Video Games!

Postby Amazing Matheja » Wed, 14 Sep 2011 10:55

Hey!
Just a new topic to talk about games you liked, those you're playing at now, and those you want to have!..

And I wanted to say that we just had some good shit recently!

I'm now playing Xenoblade! And all I can say is that this RPG is a pure bomb!!! You feel you are totally free, gameplay is at its top for a game like this, and fighting system is really nice! To me it's some kind of a good mix between "Zelda" and the "Tales oF..." gampelay (for the battles)!... Just love it!!!

I also received my copy of Deus Ex!... I haven't played it yet, but can't wait!! It looks great also! You can play the "sneaky" way (kind of Metal gear like...) or the "Brutal" way (FPS...)! Plus, the story seems to be great!

And I can't wait to receive my Gears Of War 3, my Battlefield 3 and my Skyrim games!!!
The problem will be : When will I play those games!! :P
(I already settled my social life issues... : A social life? What for? ^^)

I really liked Borderlands... So the news that a Borderlands 2 was on its way just made my day! \o/

I'm also re-discovering retro games (Snes, Genesis,...) with a friend of mine... We're supposed to play Chrono Trigger on SuperNes one day...

Cheers gamers!! ^^

Im just playing Black Ops, Ts4 and a little gran turismo and RDR, dont really have time for much else.

Deus ex looks amazing but i've heard boss battles are included which ruin the game. I will probably pick it up in the future though. Other games ill probably pick up are f1 2011, batman arkham city and MW3.

RDR is a bomb no? I liked it so much! Except the online play... A lot of people doin things that "ruins" your fun... But the game is in my Top 5 of the recent games I played!...

I'm reading here and there that some bosses of Deus Ex can be quite hard... Also the trick to open doors and stuff...
Well, we'll see... But sometimes it's good to have some real difficulties to beat a game... ;)

Yeah the next Batman looks really promising!!!

I bought "from dust" last week, some really interesting ideas if you like puzzle/strategy type games.

Yeah RDR is one of my favourite games ever. Online though its good to have friends with you, otherwise normally a posse of yella bellies will just keep beating you up haha.

On the Ps3 my favorite by a longshot is Infamous 1, amazing game, the sense of freedom and power is really good, Infamous 2 was good but not near the first.

On the 360 so far RDR and a little game called Brutal Legend are the ones i´ve enjoyed the most, Brutal Legend is such a underrated game.

But my all time favorite is Final Fantasy X on my ps2, so many nights spent on that game, still play it sometimes, the graphics and CG´s were revolutionary for the time it came out, and what an amazing story.

yeah lol.. too true, i gave up with the online as was too hard to level up with me either running around on foot or trying to find my donkey whilst a posse of injuns tracked me down in under 10 seconds with a deluge of tomohawks to the cranium.....!

Still playing L.A. Noire, not finished yet and repeating some cases for the questions.
Gave up on Virtua Tennis 4, i just don't like it even though followed the series from the start (this is my first TS Game).
Still like Dead Space 2, online is awsome.

Don't enjoy the RPG games as much as i just don't have the patience for all that stealth tactics (hiding and sneaking around) much prefer running out and unloading my weapon.

Only patience in a game is for Assassin Creed Series, still to finish AC 2, halfway through, just started the next one AC Brotherhood even though had it for months, and lucky enough got the new Multiplayer Beta just out to test for free from Ubisoft which is really cool.

Going to finish Dead Rising 2 before i buy Dead Island. i got too many games to finish but trying to keep a decent buy/sell ratio, my reward for completing a game i get a new one.

ohh forgot to mention my favourites - The Resident Evil Series, except Outbreak and another i cant quite remember the name of?

Resi 4 by far my favourite, Resi 5 i loved the online co-op, just fell short of the standing still whilst shooting carry-on tho. Noticing a Zombie Theme in my choice of games quite prominanlty all of a sudden lol.

I'd have to say my favorite game would be any of Valve's games: Half Life 1 and 2, Portal 1 and 2, both Left for Deads, Team Fortress 2, but Half Life is probably my all time favorite :)

Well if we're on the topic of favorites mine are probably Fallout 2 and Metal Gear Solid 1 for PS1.

There is an incredibly large list of other games I totally love but probably none that I was so engrossed in...

Lately, I've been playing a lot of SF2 HD Remix online and a lot of NBA Jam on Genesis :lol: I'm getting so good at that game (NBA), just DESTROYING the CPU on Very Hard now.

I even discovered a glitch I never knew existed: In NBA Jam you must hit 3 shots in a row to get 'on fire', I'm sure probably everybody knows this.

What I found out very recently is that your streak doesn't die if your opponent scores because you were Goaltending. So if you're, for example, one point away from being 'on fire' you can goaltend the other guy's shot (assuming you're too far away to steal it) and keep your streak alive. They score but in the long run it's super advantageous to be 'on fire' and this lets you do it much easier. Super cheezy :lol:

I really recommend Deus ex... One of the best games that I have played in a very long time. If you like infiltration type games then this is really perfect.Can't wait for Batman Arkham city and Gears 3!!!!
